In article <199705250053.RAA16879.kithrup.freebsd.questions@implode.root.com> you write: >>Is there any /absolutely guaranteed/ way to get a pointer to the/a path >>that was actually used to invoke an image from that image? > /proc/<pid>/file is one way. This only works on FreeBSD 2.2+, however. And that is one of the reasons that node is in procfs :). (The *main* reason is so you can get symbols from any process you wish to debug, without knowing the actual name of the file.) Sean.
